In The Eyes of the Beholder

"Are you sure about this?" Max and Carlotta cornered Dorran after Kaia went up to change her jacket after getting it wet because of her hair.

"Kaia isn't very … stable at the moment and we don't even know where you are trying to take her," Carlotta said, keeping her voice as low as possible.

"So you think I should not take her out because she seems a little out of it?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at them. "I already told her that I will take her out today."

"How important is this though?" Max asked, "I know it isn't just some simple visit to the café or something like that. It is never like that with us."

"I think you should let Kaia decide that on her own." Ran came out, frowning at them. "She is older than all of us and has lived much longer than we did, both in this life and before. I think it is best to stop treating her like she doesn't know what she is doing."
